Compiling WRF 4.0.2 Test em_b_wave failed

Hello everyone

I am trying to compile WRF/4.0.2. Specifically this version /WRF/4.0.2-foss-2018b-dmpar/WRF-4.0.2/.
Its a module I can add to the system in order to avoid issues with other compilers/sofware...

All seem to be working so far this point

(err: 'build failed (first 300 chars): Test em_b_wave failed with exit code 132, output: FILE NOT FOUND')

Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi,
Can you let me know what, specifically, is different about the version you are trying to compile, and the out-of-the-box version of WRFV4.0.2 that we issue? Can you also please send your compile log and configure.wrf file so that I can take a look? I may be able to help, but unfortunately we are only able to fully support the versions of the code we release. Other versions may have errors that are out of our control.

Hello Kwerner

Many thanls in advance.

I attach for your attention the code where you can see the file obtained in GitHub and the files.

Filtering the logs the errors could be:

make[3]: execvp: time: Permission denied
make[3]: [test_io_idx] Error 127 (ignored)
gfortran: error: ../../frame/module_driver_constants.o: No such file or directory
gfortran: error: ../../frame/module_machine.o: No such file or directory

gfortran: error: ../../frame/wrf_debug.o: No such file or directory
gfortran: error: libwrfio_int.a: No such file or directory

or

In your configure.wrf file, look for this line:
and try changing it to:

Before doing that, issue a 'clean -a' and then reconfigure. After that, modify the configure.wrf file, save that file, and then try to recompile and see if that helps.

It has worked.
I really apreciate your help

Many thanks

Great! Thanks for updating the post.
